Hi! I am checking necessary setting for client node setup. I would like to ask question regarding to client node setup. \*\* Environment\*\* 1 cluster 3 regular nodes (Both eligible for master and data) 1 client node All elasticsearch versions are 5.0.0\_alpha4. \*\* Question\*\* I have set up below setting for client node in elasticsearch.yml. ``` cluster.name: elastic node.name: client-1 path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch network.host: 127.0.0.1 172.30.1.157 discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["127.0.0.1", "172.30.1.196", "172.30.1.46", "172.30.1.31"] discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 2 node.master : false node.data : false ``` I have not set below recovery setting. ``` gateway.recover_after_nodes: 3 gateway.expected_nodes: 2 gateway.recover_after_time: 5m ``` Above setting seems to be cluster wide setting but do you still need to define in the client node? Thanks, Yu ---

It's good to have the same settings, or those as applicable, on all nodes. ---
